EFC is working to shape Canada's computing and communications infrastructure and the policies that govern it, in order to maintain privacy and other democratic values. Our work focuses on the establishment of:

• clear institutional policies and new laws that guarantee citizens' basic rights and freedoms as new computing, communications, and information technologies emerge.

• a policy of common carriage requirements for all network providers so that all forms of speech and expression, no matter how controversial, will be carried without discrimination.

• a diverse electronic community that enables all citizens to have a voice in the information age.
